PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 264,024, dated September 5, 1882.

Application filed June 10, 1882, (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALONZO DAYTON AUs- TIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pump embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the lower part, the upper part being shown in elevation. Fig. 3 is a'section of the lower parts, illustrating the method of elongating the connection between the pumpbarrel and the reservoir. Fig. 4 is aplan view,

showing the relative positions of the deliverytubes and the piston-rods.

In the drawings Ihave shown my improvements as attached to'a pump having a pumping-barrel, J, communicating with the well or the body of water by means of a pipe, there beinga valve, j, between thesetwo parts. Above the working-barrel J there is a barrel, E, to receive the cross-heads or angle-pieces, to be 2 hereinafter described, this barrel being substantially cylindrical at its lower part, and flaring at its upper, as shown at. E. This barrel E is connected with the barrel J by means of a short narrow tubular connection, 0, there 0 being suitable bearings between the opposing surfaces. In the working-barrel J, I place a lower piston, A, and an upper piston, 0, both being in the same cylinder, the lower one, A, having a piston-rod, A, which passes up 5 through a hollow piston-rod, B, carried by the upper piston.

At D there is an angle-piece or cross-head connected with the piston-rod A, said pistonrod being connected at one end to the angle- 0 piece or cross-iron, and the upper rod, A being connected at the other end of the cross-head. This last said rod is at' the upper end connected to the handle G, by means of which the pump'is operated. Preferably it is connected 4 5 adjustably by means of a perforated plate, a, adapted to permit the pin or bolt to be moved out or in from the pivot of the handle, so as to adjust the throw of the rod A The anglepiece or cross-head D is arranged in the upper end of the barrel E, and at the lower end of said barrel there is arranged another crosshead, D, connected with the hollow piston-rod B below, and with a rod, B, which extends upwardly to and is pivoted to the handle G on the side of the handle-pivot opposite to that on which the rod A is pivoted. The rods A and B are passed through stuffing-boxes at f f, which prevent the escape of water at that point, the stuffing-boxes being carried by a plate,f, which is tightly clamped against a flange, f at the upper end of the barrel E. It will be seen that as the handle is oscillated the pistons A and O are caused to alternately approach and recede from each other, and that the valves are so arranged that this alternate approaching and receding shall result in a practically continuous flow of water. The water is carried upward from. the working-cylinder J through the tubular connection 0 into the barrel E. From this barrel it passes into two parallel pipes, H, which are secured to the plate f by means of hubs or bosses h, provided with screw-threads, whereby atightjoining is caused between the tubes and the lower parts of the pump. These tubes both communicate with the spout K by means of a coupling having the pipe 70, pipe is, and a crosscounect-ing pipe, k The cross-pipe 7: not only serves for connecting the tubes and parts of the coupling, but also provides a means of support for the braces, whereby the upper parts of the pump are securely fastened together and the whole is held firmly imposition. [n the drawings braces for this purpose are shown at h h, they being bolted or otherwise 8 secured to the base-plate I and engaging at their upper ends with the coupling. They are formed by bending rods, which at the bent parts engage with upwardly-turned lugs or hooks 70 formed with or secured rigidly to the cross-pipe 70 The parallel delivery-tubes HH pass through the base-plate I, which rests upon the ground or bottom support of the pump, and are extended toa pointconsiderably below the ground- 5 line, whereby the upper parts of the pump are made much stronger, and the stunting-boxes ff are placed below the action of frost. These pipes or tubes H H are connected with the coupling 7c 70 by screw-threads. tended above the coupling, and furnish a convenient and firm support and guide for the They are exa eeaeta handle G, which is pivoted and oscillates between them.

By constructing the barrels J and E in the manner described separately from each other and joining them by an intermediate reduced coupling, 1 am enabled to make a small working-barrel for the pistons at a much smaller cost than the ordinary long barrels can be made, and I can provide ready means for adapting a pump to any depth of well or reservoir, as two or more coupling-sections can be readily inserted, and can provide a constant guide and guard for the angle-pieces of the pistonrods.

By means of the two parallel delivery-tubes H H, I am enabled to arrange the upper parts of the pump very compactly, as they permit the operating-rods A and B and their stutting-boxesff to be brought very near the central vertical line of the pump, so that small space in eross-area is required, and short crosspieces or angle-pieces l) D are needed.

The valve 0 of the upper piston, G, is arranged to avoid a wearing contact with the piston-rod. It is held out of contact therewith by means of an interposed tube, 0, which is supported upon the piston in any suitable manner, the piston-rod A passing through it. The valve 0 rises and falls bodily, being guided by the interposed tube 0.

What I claim is- 1. In a pump having the two pistons A (3, the combination, with the hollow rod B, attached to one of the pistons, the inner rod, A, attached to the other, and the cross-heads or angle-pieces D D, of the working-barrel B, containing the pistons, the barrel E, containing the angle-pieces or cross-heads D D, and the tubular connection 0, as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The combination, with the pistons A and O, the hollow piston-rod B, attached to one, the inner rod, A, attached to the other, and anglepieces D D, the handle-rods A and B, and the barrel E, containing the cross-heads or angle-pieces l) D, of the stufling-boxes ffor the rods A and B, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the two pistons, the rods A 13, connected respectively with said pistons, and the barrel E, of the two parallel tubes H H, connected at their lower ends with the barrel E and at the upper ends with the delivery-spout, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, with the delivery-spout and the parallel pipes or tubes H H, of the conmeeting-joint having the parallel parts 70 7c and the connecting-tube k substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with the supportingplate I, the parallel pipes or tubes H H, and the connecting part 7c", of the braces h It, arranged and operatingsubstantially as set forth.

6. The combination of the barrel E, which receives the water above the pistons, the operating-rods A and B, passing through the top of the said barrel E, the stuffing-boxes ff, and the delivery-tube secured to the said barrel E below the ground'line, whereby the said barrel and stuffing-boxes can be suspended below the region of frosting, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
